Demi Lovato Talks Selena Gomez, Tattoos, Simon Cowell and More!

She is set to release a new album. She will judge The X Factor this fall. She considers herself a role model for troubled teenagers.

But the singer found time to talk with both MTV and Jimmy Fallon this week, first detailing her friendship with Selena Gomez in a chat with the former.

"We've been through a lot together," she said. "We've had periods of times when we grew apart, and we just didn't really talk."

"But now we're in a place where we realize that life is so short, and that when you have people in your life that love you so much, then you should just always be around them… she has a great soul, she's talented, she's beautiful and she will always be really, really close to my heart."

What about her new warrior tattoo? And Simon Cowell? Does she really get along with him? Watch Demi discuss those topics and more in the following interview:
